Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
Speaker 1: with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1: It is five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake
Speaker 1: up call for Monday, July twenty ninth. I'm Amy King.
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Fun Weekend. How
Speaker 1: is your weekend? Did you have a good time, Get
Speaker 1: some ressed, sit on the couch and watch the Olympics.
Speaker 1: I'm totally Olympics obsessed. But every time I see it,
Speaker 1: I just sit there and go, oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: such a slug. Oh my god. I can't even I
Speaker 1: can't even bend over and touch my toes anymore. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. Especially when you watch like the beach volleyball.
Speaker 1: There is not an ounce of fat on those women,
Speaker 1: and they're nearly naked so you can see. But oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, they're amazing. And the gymnasts, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: So much fun to watch, so much fun. I know
Speaker 1: where I'm going to be for the next two weeks.
Speaker 1: We're going to get the latest from Paris with ABC's
Speaker 1: Ennez de la Caatera. In about fifteen minutes. In fact,
Speaker 1: we're going to be checking in with her every day
Speaker 1: from the Olympics and get some of the maybe some
Speaker 1: behind the scenes stuff as well as the all important
Speaker 1: metal count. Here's what's ahead on wake up call this
Speaker 1: Monday morning. So cow Gas is going to be shutting
Speaker 1: off natural gas service to a neighborhood in Rancho Palace
Speaker 1: Verdes where the ground has been shifting. More than one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty residents of Portuguese Bend are going to
Speaker 1: lose their gas service starting at nine this morning. Rancho
Speaker 1: Palas Verdi's mayor, John Khrushenk says people will likely be
Speaker 1: forced to leave their homes if they're electricity and water
Speaker 1: get shut off. Next President Biden has unveiled a plan
Speaker 1: to set up term limits and an ethics code for
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court justices. Biden's also pushing for a constitutional
Speaker 1: amendment that would override the Court's recent ruling that gives
Speaker 1: presidents some immunity while in office. Now much chance that
Speaker 1: any of the plans will pass because of the divided Congress.
Speaker 1: Handel's going to be talking more about that on Handle
Speaker 1: on the News at six oh five. Lebanon's state run
Speaker 1: news agency says Israeli airstrikes have killed at least two
Speaker 1: people and hurt three others in southern Lebanon. The report
Speaker 1: came as Israel moles over its response to a rocket
Speaker 1: attacked from Lebanon over the weekend that killed twelve children
Speaker 1: and teenagers in a town in the Israel controlled Golan Heights.
Speaker 1: We'll get the latest from Israel with ABC's Geordani Miller
Speaker 1: in less than five minutes. Let's get started with some
Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KMFI twenty four
Speaker 1: hour newsroom. Police in East Hollywood and Silver Lake are
Speaker 1: warning people about a series of home break ins over
Speaker 1: the weekend, including one where a woman was sexually assaulted.
Speaker 1: Billy say the woman was attacked in her bedroom as
Speaker 1: she slept. The crimes happened early Friday into Saturday. Neighbors
Speaker 1: tell KTLA it is scary.
Speaker 3: I immediately was thinking about ring cameras and extra locks
Speaker 3: and just various things that we can do or think about,
Speaker 3: or just even rethinking the area that I had always
Speaker 3: felt really safe in.
Speaker 1: One person says they were able to get the man
Speaker 1: out of their home and call police, but they were
Speaker 1: shaken up Rescuers in Huntington Beach have been looking for
Speaker 1: a teenager who disappeared out swimming near Lifeguard Tower eleven.
Speaker 1: They say the teen went swimming late last night with
Speaker 1: another person who got out of the water and then
Speaker 1: realized the teen wasn't there with them. Divers and swimmers
Speaker 1: searched the water. They were eventually pulled out while the
Speaker 1: search continued on land and by air. A wildfire that
Speaker 1: started near Chico in northern California is now the largest
Speaker 1: active fire in the US. It's burned more than three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousan acre since it started Wednesday. Lance
Speaker 1: and Patricia Conlin are among the thousands of people forced
Speaker 1: to leave their homes.
Speaker 4: Both survivors of the campfire.
Speaker 1: It took us six hours to get up, so we
Speaker 1: didn't want to experience that again. The campfire is the
Speaker 1: one that destroyed the nearby town of Paradise in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: The current fire is burning in four counties and is
Speaker 1: just twelve percent contained. We've got the latest from Jerusalem
Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller. Good morning, not a great weekend for
Speaker 1: Israel as a rocket attack kills a bunch of children
Speaker 1: on a soccer field in the Golan Heights.
Speaker 5: It was such a tragic and sad weekend, hence the law.
Speaker 5: The Iron backed militia that has been fighting with Israel
Speaker 5: really since October eighth, they fired various rockets and missiles
Speaker 5: on Saturday afternoon, and it appears that one of them
Speaker 5: misfired and smashed into a soccer field where a bunch
Speaker 5: of children were playing soccer on a late Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 5: There was a siren. Some were able to take cover,
Speaker 5: but others did not survive the explosion and the impact,
Speaker 5: and there were twelve children under the age of eighteen killed,
Speaker 5: including five from the same family. These are all citizens
Speaker 5: of Israel. They're part of an Arab minority called the Drus.
Speaker 5: They're quite integrated into his early society. They serve in
Speaker 5: the Israeli Army. Almost a dozen soldiers from the Drewz
Speaker 5: community have died in Gaza. And so as you can
Speaker 5: imagine the response from Israel, from both the Prime Minister
Speaker 5: and the Defense Minister, they vowed, you know, to make
Speaker 5: Habal pay a quote heavy price, and we're essentially in
Speaker 5: a waiting waiting game right now. Israel is you know,
Speaker 5: they have the Cabinet has met, the Prime Minister came
Speaker 5: back early to Israel. They've met, and they have green
Speaker 5: They've they've given their approval for a reprisal strike. And
Speaker 5: now we're waiting to see what Israel does. And the
Speaker 5: Prime Minister has to be really careful here. He needs
Speaker 5: to send a strong message that what happened is unacceptable.
Speaker 5: On the other hand, he doesn't want to drag Israel
Speaker 5: into a larger war, a direct war with Hasbalah that
Speaker 5: could widen out into a regional war and include Aran.
Speaker 5: So it is a quite precarious moment and Israel's going
Speaker 5: to it appears, take more time to decide how and
Speaker 5: when it's going to respond, And of course the world
Speaker 5: is watching and very nervous about really what's going to
Speaker 5: come next.
Speaker 1: And Jordana, there were some air strikes carried out overnight,
Speaker 1: like six o'clock local time yesterday in Israel, I believe,
Speaker 1: And but that's not part of the retaliation.
Speaker 5: It's not. Unfortunately, back and forth attacks have become par
Speaker 5: for the course in the war. Over the last several months,
Speaker 5: especially the last three months, there's been a real escalation. May,
Speaker 5: June and July saw a huge jump thirty percent in
Speaker 5: the attacks, both from Azbaa and responses by Israel. You know,
Speaker 5: that was seen as kind of a pressure building as
Speaker 5: the Goza ceasefire talks we're having their ups and downs,
Speaker 5: so that was not the response. Today. There's been a
Speaker 5: targeted assassination of two Husbula fighters in southern Lebanon. That's
Speaker 5: also not part of the response because we've seen those
Speaker 5: kind of targeted killings over the last several months. This
Speaker 5: is going to be a bigger strike. By that, I
Speaker 5: mean Israel may go after some civilian infrastructure targets, not
Speaker 5: necessarily be root which for Hesbala would be a red line,
Speaker 5: but maybe in southern Lebanon, maybe they'll hit some power
Speaker 5: grids or bridges or fuel storage sites and send a
Speaker 5: message only that Hesbala is responsible, but that Lebanon is
Speaker 5: responsible for not controlling Hasbala. They will also hit probably
Speaker 5: deeper military you know, hit deeper into Lebanese territory uh
Speaker 5: and hit more has Bala military targets. We're going to
Speaker 5: have to wait and see, but certainly the response is coming.
Speaker 5: It is going to be strong, and many people hoping
Speaker 5: that it doesn't cross the line. For example, by hitting
Speaker 5: be Root, because then you can understand what might happen.
Speaker 5: Has Bola might say, oh great, if be Root is game,
Speaker 5: then tel Aviv's game, and then you could have Hesbala
Speaker 5: fire on tel Aviv, which would change the rules of
Speaker 5: the game that the unwritten rules of the game until
Speaker 5: now have been. You know that both sides would only
Speaker 5: attack military targets.
Speaker 1: Okay, a precarious situation at best. Jordana Miller, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for the information. We'll continue to watch and
Speaker 1: hope that things do not escalate. Yep, we'll talk to
Speaker 1: you again soon. All right, let's get back to some
Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
Speaker 1: hour newsroom, which is getting word that the Food and
Speaker 1: Drug Administration has approved a new blood test to screen
Speaker 1: for colon cancer. The test from Garden Health would not
Speaker 1: replace colonoscopies, but would be a less invasive way to
Speaker 1: detect the disease. And, speaking as somebody with experience on this,
Speaker 1: anyway to detect that nasty little thing that could turn
Speaker 1: into more than a nasty little thing is a great,
Speaker 1: great advancement. Two young kids have witnessed a deadly shootout
Speaker 1: in sam Bernardino that killed their father.
Speaker 6: Van Berardino County Sheriff's deputy say it started as a
Speaker 6: hit and run on the two ten, when motorcyclist Jonathan
Speaker 6: McConnell split the lanes and hit us sedan driven by
Speaker 6: Aaron Harris. Harris's two year old and five year old
Speaker 6: were also in the car when he exited the freeway
Speaker 6: and followed McConnell into the parking lot of a restaurant
Speaker 6: in Highland. Deputies say that's when both men started shooting
Speaker 6: at each other. Both of them died from gunshot wounds
Speaker 6: on the scene. The two children and other patrons of
Speaker 6: the bar and lounge were unhurt during the incident. Heather
Speaker 6: Brooker kay off I News.
Speaker 1: A woman has barricaded herself inside a home in La
Speaker 1: Puente as La County Sheriff's deputies try to get her
Speaker 1: to surrender. The standoff on Renault Street began just after
Speaker 1: eleven thirty last night. Surrounding homes were evacuated. Officials haven't
Speaker 1: said what the woman is wanted for. Dodgers' first baseman,
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, has been placed on the family Emergency list
Speaker 1: because his three year old son is in the hospital
Speaker 1: in Texas it's not clear when Freeman will rejoin the team.
Speaker 1: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says they're trying to let Freeman
Speaker 1: spend time with his family and pray that things continue
Speaker 1: to improve. Former President Trump says he'll continue to hold
Speaker 1: outdoor rallies following his attempted assassination in Pennsylvania. The Secret
Speaker 1: Service had urged him to shift his campaign events indoors
Speaker 1: since the shooting. On July thirteenth, Trump posted on social
Speaker 1: media over the weekend that the Secret Service has agreed
Speaker 1: to substantially step up their operation. He also wrote that
Speaker 1: they are very capable of doing so. Irvine Police may
Speaker 1: have zoomed ahead in an unofficial race to be the
Speaker 1: first department with a Teslas cybertruck.
Speaker 7: The city posted the announcement on social media with a
Speaker 7: picture of a sleek, all black cyber truck with red
Speaker 7: and blue police lights blazing in the hashtag not kidding.
Speaker 7: Irvine Police's Kyle o'dorp says the department has the truck
Speaker 7: and is working on how it'll be marked and outfitted
Speaker 7: with sirens and other equipment.
Speaker 1: We don't anticipate it to be on patrol.
Speaker 8: This car is not going to be pulling people over.
Speaker 9: We're going to be using it for community engagement and
Speaker 9: community outreach.
Speaker 2: We have a DARE program, we have a robust youth program.
Speaker 7: The box like truck that looks like it came from
Speaker 7: the Moon is expected to be ready for duty in
Speaker 7: a few months in Orange County. Corbin Carson kaf I News.
Speaker 1: I just saw one of those on the street yesterday.
Speaker 1: It is a weird looking thing. SpaceX is moving its
Speaker 1: Dragon spacecraft splashdowns from off the coast of Florida to
Speaker 1: the west coast. Long Beach City officials say the Port
Speaker 1: of Long Beach is going to be the new home
Speaker 1: to SpaceX's Dragon recovery vessel. So I wonder if we're
Speaker 1: going to be able to see them come down here
Speaker 1: on the west coast, Like, are they close enough to
Speaker 1: shore that we could see that? That'd be cool. Police
Speaker 1: are working to find out how a man got into
Speaker 1: a metro train tunnel near the Hollywood Station. Police were
Speaker 1: called to the station shortly before three pm yesterday and
Speaker 1: found the man dead in a tunnel between Universal City
Speaker 1: and North Hollywood. Actually they were it was three pm Saturday.
Speaker 1: Police say he may have been electrocuted when he ran
Speaker 1: onto the tracks. Orange Counties Sarah Hughes and Kelly Chang
Speaker 1: have served up a big win as they go for
Speaker 1: gold in beach volleyball at the Paris Olympics. They swept
Speaker 1: a team from the Czech Republic. Their next match is
Speaker 1: Wednesday against the host country France. Hughes and Chang were
Speaker 1: te mates at USC and won the twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: Beach Volleyball World Championships together at six oh five. It's
Speaker 1: handled on the news as if Pasadena hasn't been through enough.
Speaker 1: The town that was basically destroyed in a wildfire six
Speaker 1: years ago is under a new evacuation warning because of
Speaker 1: the huge fire that is burning in northern California. Let's
Speaker 1: say good morning now to ABC's Inez de la Katera
Speaker 1: in Paris, bonjour inz. So you're in the thick of
Speaker 1: it in Paris for the for the Olympics, and it's
Speaker 1: off to a wild and wonderful start. So out of
Speaker 1: the gate, we got to talk about some on Biles,
Speaker 1: and then we can talk to others about other stuff.
Speaker 9: We can often just talk about someone Biled. I love
Speaker 9: some biled. It was very cool to see her back
Speaker 9: on the mat over the weekend for the women's qualifiers.
Speaker 9: She there was some issues so early on she was
Speaker 9: doing warm ups and then she appeared to kind of
Speaker 9: hurt herself and she was unseen seems limping, and so
Speaker 9: there were fears that that could impact her performance. But
Speaker 9: being him own Biles, of course, she pulled through and
Speaker 9: she actually did amazingly well and she got an incredible score,
Speaker 9: especially on vaults. She landed two of her signature moves,
Speaker 9: so she is back in full force. Sunny Lee also
Speaker 9: doing very well, also heading to the all around finals,
Speaker 9: and so that's very exciting because both Simone and Sunny
Speaker 9: will be going, meaning we'll have two all around champions
Speaker 9: basing off in the all around finals, both from Tmusa.
Speaker 9: That's the first time that's happened.
Speaker 1: I love it, and so I'm thrilled to hear that
Speaker 1: she seems to be doing okay, because I know I
Speaker 1: was watching the competition yesterday and they just kept talking
Speaker 1: about it as she was grabbing for her calf and
Speaker 1: was off sitting off from the other girls for a
Speaker 1: little bit. And what looks like she went into the
Speaker 1: training room. But she appears to be okay.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, she had her ankle taped up and everything,
Speaker 9: so we were all of it concerned. Her coach did
Speaker 9: talk about it afterwards, you know, in those briefings that
Speaker 9: they do after the events. He seemed a downplay it.
Speaker 9: He said, like you say, it was a leg injury
Speaker 9: that she's been kind of dealing with for a few months,
Speaker 9: but nothing major. He said that at no point she
Speaker 9: ever considered, you know, not competing. So they were downplaying
Speaker 9: and it doesn't seem to be a big thing, thankfully.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, And so far it's turning out to be
Speaker 1: a rather star studed Olympics. Who have we spotted so far?
Speaker 9: I saw to everyone and their mother is here.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So you had the gymnastics if that was actually packed
Speaker 9: with people. So you had Tom Cruise, John legend Ariana Grande,
Speaker 9: Greta Gerwick. So you had at the women's water polo events,
Speaker 9: you had the first lady doctor Joe Biden. You have
Speaker 9: played a slave, which is a really interesting storyline coming
Speaker 9: out of these Olympics as well. He is now the
Speaker 9: women's water polo team's official hypeman. Kind of me, it's
Speaker 9: kind of fun how that.
Speaker 5: Came to be.
Speaker 9: So he actually apparently puts the data for and he
Speaker 9: saw a social media post from the team's captain saying
Speaker 9: how most Olympians need a second or a third job
Speaker 9: to be able to their their their you know, activities
Speaker 9: and to be able to chase their dreams. And then
Speaker 9: it's expensive to pay for you know, all the gear
Speaker 9: and the travel and all of that. And so he
Speaker 9: responded to that post and he pledged to help as
Speaker 9: he's been helping them financially and he's promised to sponsor
Speaker 9: them for the next five years. So that's I guess
Speaker 9: that's how that came to be the whole flavor slave
Speaker 9: being the hikesman here.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I love that. And then I also saw
Speaker 1: Mick Jagger at the fencing events.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was.
Speaker 9: Another big one. And I'm not sure if he was
Speaker 9: at the one where we won gold, but teams A
Speaker 9: did win of gold in fencing. We are now at
Speaker 9: three gold. We we we have the most medals. We
Speaker 9: have twelve total. We're a little behind Japan and South
Speaker 9: Korea and in terms of four each, so we'll make
Speaker 9: up that difference in no time, I'm sure. But yes,
Speaker 9: fencing is a is a big one, very cool venue
Speaker 9: as well for fencing, so that's certainly one to watch.
Speaker 1: I haven't watched fencing before. That was kind of fun.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like the it's they put them up
Speaker 1: on center stage and the room around them is dark
Speaker 1: and it's just cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but very fast too. I haven't actually been inside yet,
Speaker 9: but it's on my list of other events I'd like
Speaker 9: to go to. It seems to be really yeah, action packed,
Speaker 9: very quick, Yeah, very cool, lots of energy in the room.
Speaker 1: Okay, we got you for thirty seconds more. What are
Speaker 1: we going to see today?
Speaker 9: So today the big one is skateboarding. I think that's
Speaker 9: one to watch. It was supposed to be held on Saturday.
Speaker 9: It was Sonne due to the rain. Skateboarding sport that's
Speaker 9: new to the Olympics, so it's exciting. High hope for
Speaker 9: Nijil Hudson on Tmusa, who is favored to.
Speaker 10: Win a medal.
Speaker 9: And then tomorrow the men's triathlon, which is supposed to
Speaker 9: be held in the Send, but the water quality has
Speaker 9: been really bad because of the rains. It's unclear if
Speaker 9: they're going to be able to move forward with that
Speaker 9: or if they might have to delay it by a
Speaker 9: couple of days. We'll see, but that's I think going
Speaker 9: to be also interesting to watch. There is obviously been
Speaker 9: a lot of skepticism when it comes to the shed
Speaker 9: and the water quality there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say that I don't think
Speaker 1: the rain is the biggest problem for this end. Okay,
Speaker 1: and asde Lakatara, thank you so much. We're going to
Speaker 1: be getting a metal count and a chat with you
Speaker 1: each day through the Olympics. We appreciate your time. Have fun.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Okay au Revoir. Let's get back to some
Speaker 1: of the stories get coming out of the KFI twenty
Speaker 1: four hour newsroom. So cow Gas is set to shut
Speaker 1: off service to more than one hundred and thirty homes
Speaker 1: in Rancho Palace Verdes because of concerns about land movement.
Speaker 1: The gas company just notified customers in the Portuguese Bend
Speaker 1: area on Friday that they were going to be losing
Speaker 1: their service indefinitely starting at nine this morning. The city says.
Speaker 1: Locals spent the weekend looking into propane or electric alternatives.
Speaker 1: President Biden's expected to propose term limits for Supreme Court justices.
Speaker 2: And the service of a Supreme Court justice after eighteen years.
Speaker 1: ABC Stephen Portnoys's. Biden also wants to override the court's
Speaker 1: recent decision that the president enjoys some immunity for official acts.
Speaker 2: He's proposing a constitutional amendment that would emphatically state that
Speaker 2: there is no immunity conferred upon someone who previously served
Speaker 2: as president by virtue of their service.
Speaker 1: Biden is said to announce his plans this afternoon at
Speaker 1: the LBJA Presidential Library in Austin In Texas, Venezuelan President
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro and opposition candidate and Mundo Gonzales are both
Speaker 1: claiming victory this morning in the country's election. The vote
Speaker 1: was marred by accusations of foul play on both sides
Speaker 1: and sporadic violence. The country's election authority said Maduro one
Speaker 1: with fifty one percent of the vote, Gonzales got forty
Speaker 1: four percent. Exit polls seem to point to an opposition victory.
Speaker 1: Though first the trains, now the telephones, French authorities say
Speaker 1: vandals have hit multiple telecommunication lines as France hosts the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Olympics. Fiber lines and fixed and mobile
Speaker 1: phone lines have been affected. Last week, the French National
Speaker 1: train service was targeted by what were called malicious acts
Speaker 1: just hours before the opening ceremonies. A Los Angeles nonprofit
Speaker 1: is developing software that's intended to help the homeless find
Speaker 1: shelters and services better. Angels United, founded by tech entrepreneur
Speaker 1: and philanthropist Adam Adam Miller, has a team of tech
Speaker 1: experts building a mobile friendly prototype for outreach workers. It
Speaker 1: would then be followed by systems for shelter operators and
Speaker 1: a comprehensive shelter bed database that the region currently does
Speaker 1: not have.
Speaker 11: I'm the Messiah yet, Marvel.
Speaker 1: Jesus, Deadpool and Wolverine has taken in more than two
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars at the box office in its opening weekend.
Speaker 1: It's the eighth best North American opening of all time.
Speaker 1: The third film in the Deadpool Deadpool series pairs Ryan
Speaker 1: Reynolds with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine to save the multiverse.
Speaker 1: So the Hollywood Bowl was distinctly pink over the weekend.
Speaker 2: A Holy Guy, Important Things to Do.
Speaker 11: It's hard.
Speaker 1: Barbie. The movie in concert was at the Hollywood Bowl,
Speaker 1: and we talked about it on out and about last week,
Speaker 1: and I got to go, and you know, I was
Speaker 1: telling you that the sound at the Bowl is just
Speaker 1: so The word I used was pristine, because it's just
Speaker 1: so perfect and they just, you know, prove that again.
Speaker 1: The show was so great. So it's Barbie the movie
Speaker 1: up on the big screen and then the live orchestra
Speaker 1: playing the music behind. And how they did it, I
Speaker 1: really don't know, because they mixed it so perfectly so
Speaker 1: you could hear everything in the movie, but you could
Speaker 1: also hear the orchestra playing. And it was a beautiful
Speaker 1: evening and we got sandwiches from gwen My the new
Speaker 1: favorite place. That's Curtis Stone's restaurant. Oh my god. They
Speaker 1: were delicious. I mean, so it was just like this cool,
Speaker 1: cool experience. So if you haven't been to the Hollywood
Speaker 1: Bowl recently, highly recommend it. It's such a great place
Speaker 1: to see a show. And like I'd said when I
Speaker 1: talked to the conductor Macy, there is no bad seat
Speaker 1: in the Hollywood Bowl. They're all fat. A woman has
Speaker 1: been sexually assaulted in one of several homes that were
Speaker 1: broken into over the weekend. The LAPD is looking into
Speaker 1: burglaries at three homes in East Hollywood and Silver Lake.
Speaker 1: Police are asking you to call LA Regional Crime Stoppers
Speaker 1: if you know or saw anything so Cow Gas is
Speaker 1: going to be shutting off natural gas service to a
Speaker 1: neighborhood in Rancho Palace Verdes where the ground has been shifting.
Speaker 1: More than one hundred and thirty homes in Portuguese Bend
Speaker 1: will lose their gas service starting at nine this morning.
Speaker 1: The Happiest Haunts on Earth will be haunting once again
Speaker 1: with the reopening of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. The
Speaker 1: attraction has been closed for renovations since January. The mansion's
Speaker 1: already ready for the holidays, decked out in its new
Speaker 1: Nightmare before Christmas design. It's reopening today at six oh five.
Speaker 1: It's handle on the news. VP Kamala Harris is cashing
Speaker 1: in on her almost guaranteed nomination for president. She's raised
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars in just a week. In fact,
Speaker 1: let's dive into that a little bit more. Right now,
Speaker 1: we've got ABC's Steve Robert with us. It's been a
Speaker 1: good week for the Democratic Party following the exit of
Speaker 1: President Biden as the candidate.
Speaker 10: Yes, it has you mentioned two hundred million. The Harris
Speaker 10: campaign claims it's signed up one hundred and seventy thousand
Speaker 10: new volunteers. You look at our ABC asels Paul Amy
Speaker 10: out this morning, Harris's favorable rating was jumped from thirty
Speaker 10: five to forty three. That's not great, but it's a
Speaker 10: lot better than it was. While Trump's favorable rating has
Speaker 10: dropped from forty to thirty five, but among independents, a
Speaker 10: big jump. Harris's Rating's one from twenty eight to forty four.
Speaker 10: But the basic point here this morning, Amy is we
Speaker 10: can't predict what's going to happen in ninety nine days.
Speaker 10: Think what's happened in the last ninety nine days, right, well, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 10: But we can say this this morning, Kamerala Harris is
Speaker 10: fifty nine years old, not eighty one years old. She
Speaker 10: has deprived Donald Trump of the single, by far, his
Speaker 10: single best argument, because he was running against a frail
Speaker 10: eighty one year old. She has re energized Democrats. They
Speaker 10: are now excited. Two weeks ago, they were demoralized, they
Speaker 10: were depressed, they were facing a historic defeat. Today they're
Speaker 10: back in the game. Now, it's a long way to go.
Speaker 10: Harris has a lot of vulnerabilities. She's being demonized as
Speaker 10: a San Francisco liberal. This is not the best thing
Speaker 10: to be in American politics these days. She's got to
Speaker 10: defend the Democratic record, which has not been great on
Speaker 10: inflation and immigration. She still has to prove herself as
Speaker 10: a campaigner. When she ran herself in twenty twenty, she
Speaker 10: was a dismal presidential candidate. But the world does look
Speaker 10: different this morning, and Donald Trump knows it because he's
Speaker 10: been complaining. He said I wanted to run against Joe Biden.
Speaker 10: He was going to be easy to be and it's
Speaker 10: going to be a lot harder to beat Kamala Harris
Speaker 10: than Joe Biden's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Steve, do people know Kamala Harris because she
Speaker 1: really hasn't done a lot that we know of as
Speaker 1: vice president? She doesn't. I mean she's she's kind of
Speaker 1: been there, but not really jumping out into the spotlight much.
Speaker 10: No, I mean they don't know her very much at all.
Speaker 10: The single most important thing about Kamala Harris is she's
Speaker 10: not Joe Biden. Yeah, it's not who she is, it's
Speaker 10: who she is not. And she's not eighty one years old,
Speaker 10: and she's not stumbling up and down the steps of
Speaker 10: Air Force one. And she didn't disgrace herself in the
Speaker 10: debate with Donald Trump. It's that I don't mean this
Speaker 10: to demean Kamala Harris, but that's the political reality. And
Speaker 10: now going forward, it will be much more focused on
Speaker 10: who she is. She's going to be in the spotlight.
Speaker 10: And then this is an open question because I don't
Speaker 10: care how experienced you are as a politician. When you
Speaker 10: run for president, and as you become a serious candidate,
Speaker 10: the spotlight gets so much more intensive and the standard
Speaker 10: by which you were judged is so much higher. It's
Speaker 10: an enormous change. Just asked Ron DeSantis as a good
Speaker 10: example right there, he was a two term governor of Florida,
Speaker 10: cruising to re election, everybody's golden boy. He gets into
Speaker 10: the national spotlight and power, He's just suddenly measured against
Speaker 10: a very different standards. So she is going to have
Speaker 10: to face that, and it's a very open question about
Speaker 10: how she does, and she is going to be subjected
Speaker 10: to withering fire from the Republican some of which is legitimate,
Speaker 10: some of which is not. I think it's totally legitimate
Speaker 10: for the Republicans to say she was part of an
Speaker 10: administration that could control inflation, She was part of an
Speaker 10: administration that could not control the border, but there's also
Speaker 10: going to be any It's already started. And that is
Speaker 10: the element of sexism. There's no doubt that one of
Speaker 10: the main reasons Hillary Clinton lost eight years ago was sexism.
Speaker 10: We are one of the few industrialized countries of any
Speaker 10: kind in the world who was yet to be led
Speaker 10: by a woman. Think about a whole generation ago, two
Speaker 10: generations ago, when Margaret Thatcher and Britain think about Angela
Speaker 10: Merkel in Germany, think about in Deira, Gandhi and India.
Speaker 10: There has been so many other countries long ago broke
Speaker 10: the gender barrier in terms of a chief executive. America
Speaker 10: never has. And is it a sexism, Steve?
Speaker 1: Is it sexism or is it just it was a
Speaker 1: bad candidate?
Speaker 10: Oh? Well, of course there are many factors Amy in
Speaker 10: any election. I'm saying this was only one of many factors.
Speaker 10: Hillary Clinton lost because she was a bad candidate in
Speaker 10: many ways. All I'm saying is that you have to
Speaker 10: keep your eye on this element.
Speaker 1: That it's still out there among many.
Speaker 10: Look at look at it. Look at the Donald Trump
Speaker 10: talking about Kamala Harris's laugh, which he would he ever
Speaker 10: say that about a male politician. Come on. Of course
Speaker 10: he would never say that about a man, but that
Speaker 10: is that is a sexist trope. When he talks about
Speaker 10: Kamala Harris as a lunatic, what does he really say.
Speaker 10: He's say women are too emotional, women can't be counted
Speaker 10: in the crisis, women are unstable. One of the oldest
Speaker 10: sexist tropes in the book. So there are many legitimate
Speaker 10: arguments against Kamala Harris, but keep your eye on that
Speaker 10: sexist element because it was used against Clinton, it's going
Speaker 10: to be it's already being used against Harris, and it's
Speaker 10: one of the reasons why, as I say, we're one
Speaker 10: of the few major countries that has never been led
Speaker 10: by a woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in it. The Trump campaign's going to have to
Speaker 1: be careful. I mean, both sides are going to have
Speaker 1: to be careful because, as you mentioned, the independence, that's
Speaker 1: really going to be a key voting block, because I mean,
Speaker 1: whether the Democrats like Kamala or not, there's a better
Speaker 1: chance that they'll close ranks and vote for her. Same
Speaker 1: thing with yes.
Speaker 10: And here's the other factor. In the same way that
Speaker 10: sexism could certainly be a drag on the Democratic ticket,
Speaker 10: it could also be an asset if Harris is effective
Speaker 10: at turning it around. One of the big differences between
Speaker 10: today and twenty sixteen was the Dobbs decision reversing Roe v.
Speaker 10: Way and Harris she's burdened by issues of inflation and immigration,
Speaker 10: but she's much better positioned. And Joe Biden was to
Speaker 10: prosecute the issue of abortion, not just because she's a woman,
Speaker 10: but Biden was a believing Roman Catholic. He was never
Speaker 10: comfortable arguing that issue in the clear and forceful terms.
Speaker 10: But the potential all we can say this morning is
Speaker 10: a potential for Harris to get out there and say
Speaker 10: not just that a Republican dominated court has reversed your
Speaker 10: rights to control your own reproductive system, but there's a
Speaker 10: larger potential message there any which is Donald Trump does
Speaker 10: not respect women, He does not respect me, and he
Speaker 10: does not respect you. And if Harris can make that
Speaker 10: argument to those swing voters in Wisconsin and Michigan to
Speaker 10: be very important, well, we.
Speaker 1: Got ninety nine days to go, and I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: going to be a heck of a ride. Thank you
Speaker 1: for sharing your insights and thoughts, Steve, as we muddle
Speaker 1: our way through this election season.
Speaker 10: Anytime, Amy all right, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Thousands of people
Speaker 1: who work at Disneyland or set to vote on a
Speaker 1: proposed labor agreement that would avert a strike. Three unions
Speaker 1: representing about fourteen thousand Disneyland employees announced on Wednesday that
Speaker 1: they had reached a tentative contract deal with Disney Employees
Speaker 1: will be voting on it today. News brought to you

Speaker 11: Mulofsky says it should be saved.
Speaker 4: I think it's an iconic example of roadside signage architecture,
Speaker 4: probably as important in terms of icon of roadside designations
Speaker 4: as the Golden Arches are in the Donalds.
Speaker 11: The Commission voted to have the City Planning Department prepare
Speaker 11: a report for consideration. Michael Monks, KFI News.
Speaker 1: Love me a good Arby's Roast beef sandwich. Tomorrow, the

Speaker 1: that killed twelve children playing on a soccer field in
Speaker 1: the goal On Heights, although Israel is saying that the
Speaker 1: air strikes overnight were not the retaliation that Israel is promising.
Speaker 1: Israeli warplanes hit targets inside Lebanon and along the border.
Speaker 1: Deadpool and Wolverine has slashed box office records with two

Speaker 1: of all time and the biggest R rated movie opening ever.
Speaker 1: Twisters is still churning in some decent dollars, coming in
Speaker 1: second place with over thirty five million dollars in its
Speaker 1: second week of release. Despicable Me four was third, Inside
Speaker 1: Out two was fourth, and the horror movie Long Legs
Speaker 1: finished fifth. We're just minutes away from handle. On the
Speaker 1: news this morning, the ground is shifting in Rancho Palace Verdes.
Speaker 1: So the city's turning off the gas to an entire neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning, Now to ABC's Jim Ryan in Dallas. Jim,
Speaker 1: We're used to earthquakes in California, but there's been a
Speaker 1: whole lot of shaking going on in Texas well.
Speaker 8: Right in the past week, there have been something like
Speaker 8: eighty earthquakes out west of here. The ones that you
Speaker 8: could feel, the ones about two point five or above
Speaker 8: twenty one of them in this one small area, an
Speaker 8: area out in West Texas, out in the oil patch
Speaker 8: near You wouldn't have heard of any of these towns. Snyder, Texas.
Speaker 8: It's kind of northwest of Abilene. May have heard of
Speaker 8: Vabbling by about a hundred miles and two hundred miles
Speaker 8: west of here. The strongest of the quakes was a
Speaker 8: five point one magnitude on Friday morning at nine twenty eight.
Speaker 8: How do I know that because I felt it two
Speaker 8: hundred miles away, looked at my watch. I'm on the
Speaker 8: fifth floor of a building, and suddenly it started swaying
Speaker 8: and rocking. You could feel the floor shaking. Stuff from
Speaker 8: the room was kind of jiggling. Then it went on
Speaker 8: for like half a minute. And yeah, it was two
Speaker 8: hundred miles west of here, where the up the center was.
Speaker 8: Have you failed earthquakes before Jim A long time ago
Speaker 8: when I lived in Idaho, I felt.
Speaker 1: One, and this one pretty decent jolts.
Speaker 8: Well, it certainly was out there five point one in
Speaker 8: this little community of Hermley. And again, I mean it's
Speaker 8: part of a cluster of dozens that have happened in
Speaker 8: the past week or so now. They had the latest
Speaker 8: ones were on Saturday. There were a couple that happened
Speaker 8: on a Saturday afternoon in that same area, but yesterday
Speaker 8: it was all clear. Today's been all clear, no new
Speaker 8: earthquakes since Saturday.
Speaker 1: So here's a question for you. Since I mentioned that
Speaker 1: in California, I mean, we get them all the time,
Speaker 1: and the buildings are made to withstand earthquakes here. Do
Speaker 1: they have those same earthquakes specifications in Texas?
Speaker 8: Don't think so. I doubt it. And in the little town,
Speaker 8: I mean, it's not as though they've got a bunch
Speaker 8: of skyscrapers in herm Leake, Texas. I mean, I suspect
Speaker 8: there are very few two story buildings there, But it's
Speaker 8: homes and ranches and businesses that kind of thing out there,
Speaker 8: and I don't know if they're built to that kind
Speaker 8: of specification here. You know, we're built to with stand tornadoes,
Speaker 8: and presumably if something can stand up to three hundred
Speaker 8: mile an hour wind, then it's going to hold up
Speaker 8: against an earthquake. But I'm not sure. I think the
Speaker 8: standards are different all.
Speaker 1: Over the place, but that would make sense, like you said,
Speaker 1: if it's if it's built to withstand those winds, I
Speaker 1: would think that, like the foundations would be bolted down
Speaker 1: in that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8: Were in some area about the building I was in,
Speaker 8: and you couldn't didn't hear any creaking. The buildings about
Speaker 8: six years old, no creaking, No, you know, you couldn't
Speaker 8: hear anything at all, but you sure felt it.
Speaker 1: So there's talk fit something triggered the earthquakes and it
Speaker 1: wasn't a fault line.
Speaker 8: Probably not. There are fault lines that run through Texas.
Speaker 8: But it's possible that the fault line that was sort
Speaker 8: of triggered by this may have been because of fracking. Okay, fracking,
Speaker 8: of course practice of you drive high pressure water down
Speaker 8: into the shale and you smash the shale open. That
Speaker 8: releases natural gas and other oil products that are then
Speaker 8: drawn up and put to use. Right, but in doing so,
Speaker 8: you create millions and millions of gallons of wastewater, toxic
Speaker 8: wastewater that comes back up out of there, and they
Speaker 8: have to dispose of it responsibly. And to do so,
Speaker 8: the industry creates new wells and they then pump this
Speaker 8: water back then into these new wells, and that may
Speaker 8: be the source of these earthquakes. You know, it's not
Speaker 8: the fracking itself, it's not oil wells, but it may
Speaker 8: be these injection wells. That's the thinking. And you know
Speaker 8: that's out in the oil patch where this all is happening,
Speaker 8: and so it's entirely possible.
Speaker 10: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Interesting. I need to read up more on that, because
Speaker 1: it's like interesting, how does that make an earthquake happen?
Speaker 8: Though, Well, if it's near, if they create a new
Speaker 8: injection well close to a fault line, an existing fault line,
Speaker 8: even the one that's been inactive for a long time,
Speaker 8: then it can cause the fault line to slide, you know,
Speaker 8: the two opposing forces there. If they've got water running
Speaker 8: through them or new pressure created by an injection well,
Speaker 8: that may cause these fault lines, existing lines to shift.
Speaker 1: A bit, kind of like Mother Nature itching a scratch. Yeah, exactly, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: hold on, I hope you don't have any more big
Speaker 1: ones coming. This is not And just before you go
Speaker 1: that this has happened too, like somewhere in the Midwest,
Speaker 1: north Midwest something where they were getting some earthquakes where
Speaker 1: they don't normally get them, and they were saying cracking
Speaker 1: might be behind those two.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Dakota's North Dakota has become a big natural
Speaker 8: gas exploration. You've got a big shale up there in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 8: different areas. And I'm looking at the earthquake map from
Speaker 8: the last week and the shows the way I've got
Speaker 8: it set. Every earthquake in the last week, it's above
Speaker 8: two point five. You got to mess up Mountain California.
Speaker 8: But yeah, up into Idaho and Washington State and then
Speaker 8: way way over in Maine.
Speaker 1: Weird, all right, Jim Ryan place we live I know
Speaker 1: right Well, you know, California didn't want to be the
Speaker 1: only one to have earthquakes. We wanted to share. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for the information. Thank type. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. SpaceX is moving
Speaker 1: its Dragon recovery to the West coast from Florida. Officials
Speaker 1: in Long Beach say the city is going to be
Speaker 1: the new home to SpaceX's Dragon recovery vessels starting next year.
Speaker 1: The Hawthorn based company says the move is intended to
Speaker 1: reduce risks associated with re entering debris that falls from
Speaker 1: the spacecraft. On several occasions, pieces of debris from Dragon
Speaker 1: trunks have landed in Australia, Saskatchewan, North Carolina, and other places.
Speaker 1: Iran says the Iran Baked backed militant group Hezbollah will
Speaker 1: pay a heavy price for a rocket attack in the
Speaker 1: Israeli occupied Golan Heights that hit a soccer field and
Speaker 1: killed twelve children.
Speaker 12: All the victims Arab citizens of Israel from the town
Speaker 12: of Mage del Jams. It's another critical moment for Benjamin Natanya,
Speaker 12: who you must carefully calibrate the Israeli Army's military response.
Speaker 1: ABC's jo Dana Miller says the concern is overdrawing Iran
Speaker 1: into a regional war. Official say the attack on Saturday
Speaker 1: involved about thirty projectiles. Israel's military says their warplanes carried
Speaker 1: out coordinated airstrikes against Hesbola targets deep inside Lebani Lebanese
Speaker 1: territory and along the border overnight yesterday, Hesbola denies it
Speaker 1: was behind the strike. Actress Jennifer Garner was at her
Speaker 1: very first comic con in San Diego over the weekend
Speaker 1: when she got stuck in an elevator. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: that's one of my worst fears. She posts about it.
Speaker 1: It's Saturday on social media.
Speaker 9: I need them.
Speaker 6: Could you use that?
Speaker 1: Could use a wolverine, I can use a dead pool.
Speaker 1: I could use someone and take the stairs once we can.
Speaker 6: We're working for stairs.
Speaker 1: She said in another video that it got toasty and
Speaker 1: shitzy and that she needed to blot. After more than
Speaker 1: an hour, San Diego firefighters got the doors open.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh my god, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: A comment on Garner's Instagram posts claimed to be from
Speaker 1: a fire captain who apologized that it took so long
Speaker 1: for rescuers to be called out. This is KFI and
Speaker 1: kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. We lead local
